Eyebuydirect Reviews Summary

The company has garnered a solid reputation for providing affordable, quality eyewear, with many customers praising the extensive selection and effective virtual try-on feature. Satisfaction with product quality is prevalent, particularly for prescription glasses, which are often noted as a cost-effective alternative to traditional retailers. However, concerns regarding slow shipping times and excessive communication, particularly following orders, have been highlighted as significant drawbacks. While most customers express overall satisfaction, the inconsistency in delivery and customer service experiences indicates room for improvement in operational efficiency and support responsiveness.

Good Experience
February 19, 2018

Good on-line experience making the order, anxious to see the results and the product provided. If the product equals or exceeds the experience, then this is a top notch supplier.

The shipping cost an extra 69 dollar just to get a tracking number? That's crazy. The shipping time was still the same 7-14 business days either way. You just need to pay 70 dollars for a tracking number. That's ludicrous.

Everyone is always complimenting my glasses, and I continually refer them to this site! I love my glasses, and they were ridiculously cheap. $30, for stylish glasses with my prescription, anti-glare and anti-scratch coating! They are super lightweight, very durable, fit me perfectly, and came with a cloth, case, and screwdriver: all of which I use everyday! I will only ever buy my glasses from here, period.

I love the large selection of frames, I'm still awaiting my order and will comment further once received. I will say my only complaint thus far was the process of trying on the frames at home through photo upload. So frustrating! The picture I uploaded would auto flip after I had cropped and rotated it with the available photo editor. I spent 45mins trying to get it right before giving up. I tried from my p. C. and my cell, no luck. Other than this, (which I find to be a very important feature when purchasing glasses online), no complaints. Fix the issue and at this point I'd say five stars! Will update once my order is received.

Love Eye Buy Direct
February 18, 2018

I'm way too clumsy to spend the amount of money that the frames cost at the eye doctor. EBD has such a great selection of affordable lenses that allow me to have a pair at work, one at home, etc. without breaking the bank or obsessing over them if they break. I tell everyone to shop here.

Great way to buy glasses!
February 16, 2018

I love all the choices, colors, shapes, sizes, and the website makes it super easy to try any glasses on your own pic and save favorites. Best part has to be the cost though! I've been getting my glasses here for years, just ordered two new ones and a case for under $100.

I wouldn't shop anywhere else for glasses. I have bought here several times and I can get 2 pair for less than what the lenses for one pair would cost. Have never had any problems with the fit or the quality.

I just placed my first order. I got 3 pair of glasses for less than one pair from Wally World (Walmart)! Now, time will tell about the quality, and customer service. I'll follow this review with a final review once I receive my glasses! Cross your fingers...

My baby nephew pulled my glasses of my face and stretched them beyond compare but being able to buy prescription glasses online makes shopping so easy and convenient. Being able to virtually try the glasses on is a great aspect.
